Meet ZTE's new smartphone with 18:9 display, the Blade V9

A sequel to the ZTE Blade V8 is already in the works and it looks like the Chinese handset maker will make it official at CES (Consumers Electronics Show) 2018 in about a week from now.

The Blade V9 is more of an entry-level ipad mini 2 screen replacement that will ship with Android 8.0 Oreo right out of the box. Another selling point of ZTE's upcoming budget-friendly handset could be the 5.7-inch HD+ display with 18:9 aspect ratio.

But there's more, as the Blade V9 comes with a dual-camera setup consisting of 16MP and 5MP cameras. Also, the smartphone includes a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor and a secondary 13-megapixel selfie camera.

On the inside, ZTE Blade V9 packs a Qualcomm Snapdragon 450 processor, paired with 2GB, 3GB or 4GB RAM. There are also multiple storage options: 16GB, 32GB and 64GB.

ZTE Blade V9 features hybrid dual-SIM support and include 3.5mm audio jack and microUSB port for charging purposes. Finally, the iphone 5s disassembly is powered by a 3,200 mAh battery and will be available in gold and black colors.
